In 2005 the company agreed to pay a $ 1.1 million fine after the EPA
alleged that VW had received
numerous reports in 1999 and 2000 about a defective exhaust part, which was causing excess carbon monoxide and other dangerous emissions, but failed to report the
defect to regulators, as required, until the EPA came across it in a random test.
Following his purchase, the Buyer
alleged that he discovered
numerous defects on the property and claimed that these
defects were not properly disclosed to him by both the Sellers and the Broker.
